For those who live near Sankt Wendel or those lucky enough to be attending the tournament, the Museum of Sankt Wendel has created a special exhibit about jousting tournament styles and their development over the past 500 years titled "Wenn Lanzen Brechen: Ritterliche Turniere Damals und Heute"("When Lances Break: Knightly Tournaments Past and Present"). The exhibit runs from June 29, 2012 through September 9, 2012. (photo from the Museum of Sankt Wendel website)

The exhibit includes a great deal of written information about jousting tournaments including a glossary of terms useful in discussing jousting. Basically the exhibit aims to teach visitors everything they need to know to understand and appreciate the upcoming "Grand Tournament in Sankt Wendel".

These prizes were hand crafted by Ralf Braune of Messerthuringia. Ralf Braune also manufactured the "Willkommen" Horn, an impressive vessel, which will be used to offer the competitors who are particularly successful in the joust or melée a drink of honour.
